Re: Using Fantastico to Move moodle to New URL

When I moved from one hosting service to another (each using Fantastico), I did a very simple procedure which did not involve touching Fantastico or the MySQL databases. If you have many courses, I am sure there is a faster way, doing whole site backup--but I have never tried that.

backup each course individually (or if you do a backup of whole Moodle site, be sure to set a good location for that massive zip file to be)

FTP into your old hosted site and download those backup file(s) into your home computer

set up Moodle at your new site using fantastico (note the location/path to your moodledata folder)

FTP into your new hosted site and upload your backup(s) into the moodledata folder

open Moodle at the new hosted site and do a restore of each course one by one
